Mu Cang actually didn't appear around her that many times, and every time he had his own purpose. She wasn't a fool, so how could she not feel it?
But...she still chuckled and shook her head firmly.
"no."
"Why? Why are you so insistent even though you're single?" Mu Cang didn't understand.
"Because I don't like you, and I can't let you, an innocent person, get involved. It's not fair to you."
"There is no need to consider whether my husband is unfair or not. Relationships can be cultivated." The stubbornness in Mu Cang's temper was ignited, "Cheng Lu, you are already a person, you can consider others."
Her smile was a little bitter: "You don't lack other women, so why bother pestering me? I'm not that good. There is no more notorious socialite than me in Sichuan City."
She has been divorced twice and is still pregnant. If a list of her emotional and marital history were compiled, eight out of ten would shake their heads and leave.
this is the truth.
She looked directly into Mu Cang's eyes: "Don't waste your time on me."
Mu Cang sneered: "I have the final say on my own time."
Come on, this topic cannot be continued properly.
She had no choice but to change the subject: "How are you doing lately? Is there any progress on the Snowfield Continent?"
"You want to ask for clues about your master, right?" He shrugged, "I'm sorry, there is none at the moment. The climate of the Snowfield Continent is harsh and the terrain is weird. The satellite has captured the map there, but we really need to conduct on-site research and exploration.
It’s not a simple thing.”
"I know." She nodded, "I want to invest in your plan, but I wonder if you are still short of funds?"
She also joins Mu Cang's Snowfield Continent development team, and may be able to collect clues about her master faster.
"Okay." Mu Cang raised his eyebrows slightly, "How much do you plan to pay?"
"One hundred million."
"It seems that Gu Ci treats you well. Even if they get divorced, he still hasn't treated you badly."
Her smile did not change, but her eyes became colder: "Really? Isn't that what I deserve?"
"You like money so much?"
"Who doesn't like money? Don't you, Mr. Mu?"
"Haha, I quite like it." He smiled, "Well, let me give you a plan that is more profitable than investing. Are you interested in hearing it?"
"What?"
"Marry me and become the young mistress of the Mu family. From now on, what I have is yours, and at least half of the Mu family's is also yours. Isn't this more cost-effective than investing?"
Cheng Lu was a little surprised, why did the topic come back again?
She lowered her eyelids calmly: "It seems that Mr. Mu doesn't want to have a good meal."
"Who said that? I'm very happy to have dinner with you."
Throughout the meal, I jumped back and forth between various topics.
Cheng Lu finally understood that this Mu Cang was as smart as Gu Ci. He could talk about any topic or angle he wanted. In the end, she remained silent obediently.
Mu Cang asked her why she spoke, but she just smiled and said nothing.
After dinner, Mu Cang wanted to send her back.
Just when she was about to refuse, Mu Cang said: "You are pregnant. Don't argue with me on this safety issue. If something happens, you will be the first to suffer, so why be stubborn? This is just my gentlemanly manner."
"Okay." She had no choice but to agree.
Along the way, Mu Cang didn't use navigation, and it seemed that he was already familiar with this route.
Chenyuan has arrived.
Cheng Lu got out of the car: "Thank you for today."
"You're welcome." He smiled and handed her a slip, "This is the day of the next prenatal check-up. Take this appointment slip and you won't have to queue up this time."
She was so surprised that she took the list and saw that it was indeed her name on it.
"What are you..."
Mu Cang was too lazy to explain and waved at her: "Go back and rest quickly. Bye."
Mu Cang's car drove out of the vicinity of Chenyuan. He did not go far. Instead, he drove a few kilometers and stopped beside a dense grove on the roadside. The surrounding area was quiet except for the rustle of the wind blowing through the treetops.
He got out of the car, leaned against the car door, and lit a cigarette.
"Come out, haven't you been following me?"
As soon as Mu Cang finished speaking, a black car slowly approached behind him.
The car window rolled down, and Gu Ci was inside.
He looked at him coldly: "How is she doing?"
"Hey, Mr. Gu, isn't it a bit outrageous for you to ask me how she is doing?" Mu Cang took a deep breath of cigarette and puffed out smoke, making his face unclear for a while.
Gu Ci frowned: "She is pregnant. If you smoke in the future, stay away from her for two hours. It will be bad for her health."
Mu Cang's hand holding the cigarette paused.
This statement is irrefutable.
"Okay, how are her test results today?" Gu Ci asked again, "How is she feeling? Are all the data normal? Does the doctor have any other instructions?"
"Hey, hey, what do you think I am? Are your ears like gods?"
"You should know that I was the one who told you the date of her prenatal check-up. I also calculated that you would definitely go. How could you not know if you are so smart? Unless you admit that you are stupid, then you can ignore my question."
Ci's voice was colder than his eyes.
Mu Cang was helpless.
"I have known for a long time that the inexplicable email sent by you last night was from you." He sighed, "I really didn't live up to expectations. I knew it was a trap but I still jumped into it."
After sighing, he told Gu Ci: "Everything is normal. Although she has experienced many things before, she is in good health and the baby in her belly is also very healthy. There is no need to queue for the prenatal check-up. Tell me,
This woman is usually very smart, but why does she act so stupid at the critical moment? It’s not like she has no money or connections, yet she still wants to queue up."
Gu Ci's eyes were sharp: "Don't call her stupid. I think you are stupid. Your whole family is stupid."
Mu Cang:......
This is also a personal attack.
He smiled unhappily: "Please, if she becomes the young mistress of the Mu family in the future, wouldn't that make the whole family stupid?"
Gu Ci: "She won't."
"How do you know not?"
"That's the kind of person she is. If she likes you, she won't remain indifferent."
Mu Cang shrugged and said nonchalantly: "What a coincidence, I just like challenges. The more impossible it is, the more I like to try it. Time can change many things, including people's feelings."
Gu Ci's eyes darkened.
Mu Cang got into the car: "She didn't like me before, but she has nothing to do with you now. Of course I can show off my talents. Gu Ci, your mistake is that you shouldn't be too laissez-faire with her."
His car left.
Gu Ci was sitting alone in the driver's seat, his eyes blurred and panicked.
